Importing SMF

Hello,
Thank you for the work on the importer!
I’m using the latest of wp and bp – this is a fresh install.
I’m still getting this error
I’ve updated the file in the /converter file to the 5191 revision.

Hi, thanks for the reply!
I actually used this revision first, https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2380 (smf.3) Is that correct? I tried the other afterwards thinking it was more recent. (I don’t think well after 9pm ha) In any case neither worked for me. 🙂
I retried all the steps this morning. I checked the database info…
I have the prefix right, it’s smf_; I had found your earlier post when someone posted the same issue, so I checked that before posting. For the revised converter, you mean once you upload the patch, pick the correct revised converter from the drop down…? I checked that too…deleted the previous and uploaded the new patch along in case it wasn’t overwriting.

I’m out of ideas – could the database be too big? We have about 8K users.
Thanks again, truly appreciate the help on the forum. Theresa

Oh! The version included in bbPress 2.5.4 is the r5191 version, the smf3 you refer to is older than that, essentially there is no need to download any files from trac manually to replace the files that already exist in bbPress 2.5.x.

That said “if” you do download any versions of the importers from trac, you need to match the main bbPress converter.php file, this is not the ‘dropdown’ you refer to.

Looking closer at your original message, indeed you did use the smf_ prefix, my bad.

Can you open up phpMyAdmin and open the smf_members table and post a screenshot like mine below (if there is sensitive data there then just the column headers would be fine)

For some reason it appears your table is missing the member_name column and that is why the error occurs.
